Abstract
In the following report, Hanover Research analyzes a survey assessing the social climate at Wichita State University (WSU). The survey was designed to gather feedback from students, faculty, staff, and administrators about perceptions of safety, satisfaction, and comfort with the current climate at WSU. The survey also asked about possible incidents of bias or harassment and sought suggestions about how WSU can improve. Results from the survey will inform WSU’s ongoing efforts to foster a safe and supportive learning environment.
